William Osler on Track and Due for a Hatch
May 10, 2013 - Etobicoke - William Osler
Tracy Simpson Reports:
I have been visitng Chessie and Hurricane this week often looking for signs of the first hatch and although the first little one hasn’t quite arrived yet, we are due for a hatch here at William Osler. Hurricane has been his usual great self demonstrating his unique babysitting style once Chessie is out of eyesight. He sat for a good 5 minutes on the edge of the nest tray on Wednesday glancing over his shoulder and visually checking on the kids while preening and stretching in between. Chessie was stretching and preening on the southern “H” and when she flew back around to the east tower, Hurricane darted back into the tray like his tail was on fire!! Yesterday he was on the eggs again when I arrived but this time he was not to be moved. He sat on the three eggs diligently and every few minutes would wiggle down and adjust his position. Bruce and I will be stopping by this morning to check whether the first chick has emerged.
